GIF Sundsvall vs Hammarby Match Prediction

By Richard McTiernan

This Sunday afternoon (14:00) fixture will have an impact on the one remaining relegation spot that remains which is for the side who finishes in the relegation play-off. Here we have our match preview with all the best predictions, betting tips and match stats. GIF Sundsvall picked up an important point last time as they drew 2-2 with Norrköping. It could have been much better though as they were 2-0 ahead thanks to a Markus Danielsson penalty and a Romain Gall goal but could not hold on to the lead. Hammarby were involved in a high-scoring draw with Sirius last time out in a game that ended 3-3. Sander Svendsen grabbed a brace for them while Jiloan Hamad also got on the scoresheet. The reverse fixture between the pair came back in April and on that occasion, it ended in a goalless draw. In fact, they have drawn each of their last three and five of their last eight competitive meetings.

Betting Tips and Predictions

Sundsvall must win here and are the most likely winners but I think odds of lower than evens on a side who have won just three of 14 in front of their own fans and none of their last five at any ground look worth avoiding. Both these teams have scored 60% or more of their goals in the second-half so backing the second 45 minutes to be the highest scoring looks a sensible play. In addition, both sides have netted around 30% of their goals in the last 15 minutes so have a small interest on a late goal to come in this game with the time set at 76:59.

Hammarby Preview

Hammarby are now four without a victory and have won just two of their last 12 in the league as their season has limped to a slow end. They sat 11th going into the weekend though they have enough points to not have to worry about being involved in the relegation play-off. On the road, they have had three victories, four draws and seven defeats from their 14 matches. They have not won any of their last four on their travels in Allsvenskan and have won just one of their last nine. 18 of the 28 games that they have played this season have produced a total of exactly two or three goals. Around 65% of the goals they have scored have come in the second-half with around 30% in the final 15 minutes.
